Are you in Salida? Weird to have just looked out my window to see S-mountain and then see it in this picture.

This picture was taken on a trip while visiting Salida, but the camper is now at my home in Oregon.

 

[smoltz]

Sent you a message.

Wow where to start...how about the bed. A Double: 54" x 70" Not queen size? 60"X80" ? I guess not. My wife and I cant sleep in a double, too short, too narrow.

Hello,

Can two adult men sleep in this EC in separate beds?

Thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill. As currently configured - there is only a single dedicated bed.

Many EC owners cut a piece of plywood to bridge the dinette, drop the cushions, and use that space as a sleeping area. I have not measured or compared the exact dimensions, but I would imagine the available space would approximately match dimensions of a twin mattress.

I have never used the dinette area for sleeping, so cannot speak to this with firsthand experience.

The Plywood option sounds quite doable, if there’s a ledge upon which it could rest. I would only be using that configuration very occasionally.

Thank you,

Yes, there is a ledge with probably 1/2 inch surface area with which the plywood will rest upon. If you want a picture, I can send you a detailed close up.

No photo required. I can visualize it and think it would work. It seems I could store the plywood under the dinette cushions. I‘m an engineer, so I’m sure I can sort it out somehow.

Oh, one more thing (I’m like Columbo) could you post a photo of the rear of your EC? If it’s there, I missed it.

Thanks again!

 

[BlueRidgeBob]

Do you happen to know the bed dimensions? I have searched and cannot find the exact dimensions anywhere (I am 78" tall so this is important if it's standard or custom)

@BlueRidgeBob. Bed is stock, east/west orientation. Dimensions are: 75" long x 54" wide x 89" corner to corner.

When I’m shopping for a $200k + overland rig to take me back into the wilderness, I’m not as much concerned about the engine, running gear, fuel capacity, electrical set-up, water capacity and GVWR, im concerned about the exact dimensions of the mattress. LOL another overland classified pure gold.

To be fair, OP's initial post was very thorough, so it's quite possible that mattress dimensions and perhaps the number of ice cubes from the freezer tray are the only remaining unknowns.
